Well, this ought to be an interesting team up.

Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds have been tapped to star in a film titled, CHANGE UP.

This film will be one amongst other films like 17 AGAIN, VICE VERSA, BIG, FREAKY FRIDAY, FACE/OFF, because it is about- you guessed it, body switching. Adult body switching.

The story centers on a responsible family man (Bateman) who switches bodies with his lazy ass best friend (Reynolds). It should be really hilarious seeing these two imitate one another.

CHANGE UP will be helmed by David Dobkin, director of WEDDING CRASHERS. HANGOVER writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore penned the script. Overall, this sounds like it could be a really great film. As of right now, most of us are just waiting for Reynolds to impress us as GREEN LANTERN and Bateman to return to his role as Michael Bluth in the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie....whenever that happens.

Extra Tidbit: I was a huge fan of VICE/VERSA. I also miss seeing Judge Reinhold in projects that I gave a crap about.

My Dark Switch
Imagine this. Takashi Miike. Japanese switch movie. Difference. The light Disney feel only from the Father in the beginning. He switches with his gothic son. Gothic son (as father), beats his father (as son) half to death then has sex with his mother. Then locks them both in the basement and tries to destroy the world. Right at the end, he's surrounded and shot but switches back. Son...

Oh, it's different because they're BOTH adults!
I see. That's cool then. Nope. Not redundant and predictable at all.

I love these two guys, but don't know if I'm too keen on this. Perhaps I'll change my mind in the future...

I saw Batemans sister on tv a few days ago. what's she up to these days?
let me guess Reynolds is the slacker and Bateman is the responsible one. This could be funny if done right!

Reynolds and Bateman are two of the best comedic actors out there, so this should be interesting in how they bounce off one another and in how they bouce off one another when they switch bodies

Sounds decent...
They were both good in Smoking Aces, and although you KNOW there's going to be a stupid "YOU SLEPT WITH MY WIFE...""IN YOUR BODY!" I figure it will be good. BTW lets see Arrested Development with Jesse Eisenberg instead of Michael Cera so the movie can take off already!
